Fifty Shades of Yellow

Deep in the forest, this mushroom (Russula ochroleuca, geelwitte russulashows fifty shades of yellow. It is a wonder of nature. Its architecture is a miracle on its own.

Autumn Palette

On election day, the quietness of the forest brought this autumn palette. The colours are vividly related to pleasant summer memories.

Rocky Mountain High

The Rocky Mountains made a considerable impression during our 2010 hiking trip through Canada. Here is an art expression. It is John Denver who is connected to the discovery of this part of the world. This is about my respect for the dimensions and dynamics, which are much larger than me, myself and I.

This view gives me calm and comfort in the loud, noisy, screamy atmosphere of election time. It provides a reflection on the higher connections to be made.

Group Effort

Distribution and reproduction can be a group effort. The mushroom is Hypholoma fasciculare (sulphur tuft, gewone zwavelkop). Beautiful but bitter and poisonous. Coming out as a group can be highly effective for spreading the message.

Four Elements

The Chobe National Park is where the four elements of air, earth, fire and water come together. The grey/white, red, yellow and, respectively, blue form a characteristic colour palette of this part of Africa. The painting symbolises the raging dynamics that climate change can have on nature, here the dry forest lands.
